Black Barrel is officially rolling into June for the Dunkington Candle Club.

This scent is dark, smooth, and ridiculously good with notes of powder, tonka bean, and rum. It’s giving aged barrel wood, midnight lounge, expensive cologne, and “don’t touch my lowball glass” energy.

If you’ve never joined our Candle Club before, here’s the deal: for $20/month, members get an exclusive 3.5oz candle shipped directly to them every month. These scents are created specifically for Candle Club members and are not released in-store or online to the general public. Once the month is over, that scent is gone.

If you want Black Barrel to show up at your door in June, you’ll need to sign up by 5/31!

🎉 WE HAVE A WINNER 🎉

Okay okay… we know this winner announcement is a few days late.

But in the handmade world of Dunkington, when the shelves start getting empty, the candles and art don’t magically make themselves. Sometimes the Facebook posts have to wait while we’re in the back actually creating the stuff y’all come in for!

With that said… after going through all the giveaway entries and verifying everyone eligible "liked, shared, and commented" our winner is…

✨ Cathy Moore Aultman ✨

Congrats!! You’ve won a Dunkington gift basket filled with over $100 worth of handmade Dunkington goodies. Swing by the store anytime to pick it up!

Thank y’all again for helping us celebrate 10 years of Dunkington and almost 5,000 followers. The support, shares, comments, and love for our little downtown shop means more than you know!

Graduation week is finished, which means Starkville officially did its yearly disappearing act. The caps were thrown, the apartments got packed up, major sporting events have wound down, and a huge chunk of downtown foot traffic headed home for the summer.

For local businesses, this is the part of the year where things get a whole lot quieter.

So if you’ve been meaning to swing by your favorite local shops, grab that candle you’ve been thinking about, wander downtown for a bit, or just say hey… now’s a great time to do it. Every purchase made locally during slower seasons genuinely matters more than most people realize.

We’d love to see y’all downtown this summer. Shop local, support handmade, and help keep the lights on for the unique little businesses that make Starkville feel like Starkville!

If you’re a business owner, you can launch your own custom candle line without outsourcing it to some random company three states ( or countries!) away.

We can create private and white label candles right here in Starkville, built specifically for your brand. Custom scents, jar and lid options, and labels that actually fit your aesthetic. Not generic. Not pulled from a catalog.

And when you work with us, you’re not dealing with a corporate support line. You can call, text, or walk in and talk directly to the person making your product. Real answers. Real collaboration. No runaround.

If “support local” is part of your business, this is how you actually do it.

Reach out and let’s create something your customers can’t get anywhere else!

Reminder!! Resume submissions close at 6pm tonight!

Spring called and we answered! New Spring candle scents are now available.

Lavender Woods: A refined blend of lavender, green leaves, and cedar that feels fresh, grounded, and effortlessly balanced. Clean without being sharp, calm without fading into the background. Think “put together” energy, in the best way.

Pretty in Pink: Watermelon, strawberry, and lemon come together in a bright, juicy scent that’s vibrant without being overwhelming. It’s playful, a little bold, and unmistakably spring.

If your space is still holding onto winter, consider this your reset!

We had the best little VIP stop by Dunkington today and yes, we are still talking about it!

Meet Newton Figley - a 2 1/2 month old long-haired miniature dachshund with the softest ears and the kind of face that makes you immediately forget what you were doing.

He came in, soaked up some attention, posed like a pro, and completely stole the spotlight for a few minutes.

10 out of 10. Would schedule another visit. 😍
